Transfer Rumour Emmanuel Dennis

A better dribble compare to richy, but his work rate will be questionable. Best to swerve and go for Keane Lewis-Portter.
 
You say selfish but he got many more assists than rich?!?!

Do you think that Gray is incredibly selfish like I do?

If so, keep in mind how negatively we played most of the season, how Gray was injured a fair bit as well.

Then imagine Dennis has only 2 more assists than him.

Selfish players...are selfish players.
 

1: First good 2.5 months in his career

2: Attitude problems at least at 2 clubs

3: Selfish like Demarai Gray

4: Limited technical ability

5: 2 goals + 1 assist in 2022 (found out?)


This would be pure insanity.

On point 5, couple of things:
I) Teams started to double up, recognising he was Wattys only attacking threat
II) Coincided with Hodgson's appointment and the move away from counter attacking play (which suited him) to low block, set piece Hodg-ball

Yeh, like mane and salah and practically all good strikers. Look at Richie’s assists over the years

Selfishness is the least of our worries
 
I'm going to put you on the spot here mate, are you happy to lose Richarlison, if the fee can bring in Dennis, Cornet and say 1 other!

Im honestly not bothered who leaves currently mate the last 2 players that we had who were genuinely top quality were Lukaku and Gana and we didnt get top fees for either imo.

More gutted with the £49 million we've got from Richys sale as he's easily worth £60-70 million based on his current profile.

Overall I think if the clubs smart with its business this summer, can move on players like Slomes, Mina and Gbamin whilst bringing in 4-5 good quality signings (including a loan or freebie if needed) then we'll come out of the summer window potentially stronger.

Back up CF
CDM
CAM
LW
CB

(Patterson also promoted to RB over Coleman)

thats the 5 positions at the minimum we need to bolster (essentially the spine of the team + Richys replacement).
 

Really not a fan of stumping up substantial (for us) fees for players after a half decent PL season. His career in Belgium and Germany is just average. You think people would have learned by now not to spunk early on players like this. They're patchy, unreliable & almost guaranteed to just be someone we can't shift in a years time.

That may well be true. Obviously I'd ask why Joao Pedro looked far more effective than him in the last few games?

If im not wrong, Dennis was the pick of their players against City and Brentford (think JP was rested or sub).

But i would say that 2nd half of the season JP was the standout player in that front line from what i noticed. The last few games definitely JP not Dennis.

Id prefer we sign JP -- not only cos of his age (but its obviously a factor) but because he looked better 2nd half of the season when things started to look ropey for us and i saw the games.

Id go for KLP, fits in line with Lampard / English young players / growing values...or Welshman Johnson or England u21 Madueke or those profiles...on the list would be Joao Pedro.

Those guys could be signed for e.g £20-25mil lets say....sold for £40mil+ if they work out

No one would give us a profit for Dennis...if there was even any interest in a year or two. Which i doubt.


Edit: I dont think JP even had a particularly good season himself.
